the bottom most gray box has the relevant excerpt from the policy. I believe even according to the policy, Childs shouldn't have given the password to the Mayor, but this seemed to be a compromise as he realized it would be needed to hand them over to someone. Personally, if my company brought me into a room with a speakerphone connected to unknown people, and no one that should be getting the passwords in the room, I wouldn't give them out either. The policy may state that he should notify the Information Security department of anyone requesting your password, but I cannot see where it says you should give them to these people, and it specifically says not to ever give out your password over the phone, which I would assume the speakerphone connected to unknown people would fall under.
Please, do your own due diligence before slamming someone else's post, the links I used to pull up the doc came from that site, but the PDF of the policy most assuredly came from SF's gov.
From what the article was saying, these ads tried to compromise his computer and Norton (Oh god, what idiot still uses Norton?) blocked the attack. An attempted compromise would fall under the umbrella of the previously mentioned act and be criminally punishable in the USA. If the ad was served from some other country, probably the best that could be done would be to get the ad pulled from the ad network, which would stop future attacks from that particular ad.
The problem with that is, Bush did nothing illegal. Both wars were declared by congress or else they would not still be going. If you have a problem with them, perhaps we should jail everyone in congress who voted for us to go to war?
You have the same situation in SAs in either environment, you have the security idiots in both places, and you have the ones that take security seriously in both places.
I know that when coworkers are testing wireless bridges and I walk in between them, I feel a tingling in my skin from the radiation. Your body can sense many frequencies that you aren't always able to consciously perceive. We have also had people nearby the testing get headaches from it, I can see this being psychosomatic however, so hard to tell.
It is also possible that you are subconsciously detecting the call setup happening over the air with the Cell tower. When a call is coming in, there is a second or two before you get the call where the cell tower is setting up the call. I also have had this, and it is usually attributed to a tingling in my leg right under the cell phone. When there isn't a call coming in, it is possible it is something else happening like a ping and response from the tower. I don't know if I explained this well enough, but I also have this happen to me pretty often when I have the phone in my pants pocket.
Unfortunately, this is not true. There have been Mac viruses and Linux viruses, they are only rarer because MS is more popular, when/if Linux or Mac become the more popular OS, it will get worse for them. The same people who hit ok to every message on Windows can't be protected from dong the same thing on other OSs. In fact, along the lines of this discussion, there was a virus found in a Torrent of copyrighted material for the Mac, so this is not something that hasn't happened yet.
Do you often get this wrong? Noone is being sued for not buying music in these cases. This man is being sued for giving away music that he did not have copyright on.
I personally feel I should ask, how is that any different from any other distracted driving, if she was looking at the radio to change the station the accident would have happened as well, why is it somehow special that it is a cell phone, not the brats in the back seat, or the person next to you. I have seen people kissing while driving...that is even worse in my mind. But this girl definitely needs to lose the phone...as she puts it, she looks at the screen and often forgets she's even driving, maybe she needs something that blocks the cell phone from working in the car...

Computer crimes and abuse act?

ARG was in reference that it is alternate reality of Half-Life, not your reality.
Wow, very nice. I must suck at deciphering the message though, I only got "help" then it stopped making sense.
That needs a ~
Why is it that noone can seem to find the password policy?
here is what I posted to the last article on this subject to the same comment...

The policy is quite clear when you read it, and Terry followed it correctly.
The problem with that is, Bush did nothing illegal. Both wars were declared by congress or else they would not still be going. If you have a problem with them, perhaps we should jail everyone in congress who voted for us to go to war?

Let me guess, you still haven't upgraded from XP or were you one of those that turns of UAC because you don't like it?
UAC in Vista and 7 handles the privilege issue very well, try it out some time.
How did you and AC get your answers so different? I'm guessing AC had his last equation screwed up...
Still, this would be enough water for a pretty sizable settlement on the moon, so I think we should be all set for settling the moon.

Sad, I tried to look up #42, then realized what you were quoting...

This is why my 2009 Camry is manual...no concern for me...
hmm, moving all the UI to other screens, and the market screen, items, cargo containers would be nice.
That is what Google translate gives me, so I would guess that is what he meant to say.
I believe he was indicating that the cable itself looks better, not the picture carried by the cable.
Wait, WHAT? You just ruined my day...

Maybe true for the English Norfolk, still up in the air for the Virginia Norfolk...
If he bought it?

My wifis show up as "GetCurtainsISeeYou" and "ImDatingYourDaughter" Figured I would screw with the neighbors.
